Chapter 10: Bad

“Park Hae Rin, niece of the president of JYPE, who was rumored to have a relationship with one of the 2PM members, Hwang Chansung, has come clean about those rumors. Park Hae Rin finally confessed about having a relationship with Hwang Chansung of 2PM…” That was the headline in the gossip news on the internet. Okay, I don’t really get the media and those people who dig for stories and scandal just to ruin their lives. I don’t even care now. I might as well disappear. It’stoo late now for their concerns and pity. Her uncle is throwing her a farewell party. I don’t even know if its good or not,and its gonna be a formal party, what should I do when I see her?
I’ve been staring at myself on the mirror for quite a while now. Yeah, why am I doing that anyway?
I heard a knock on the door. “Chansung, are you almost done? I need to use the bathroom.” It was Taecyon-hyung.
I quickly went outside and finished dressing up for this party of hers.
I started thinking about her beautiful S-line body. I still remember how beautiful she looked when I met her two years ago.
It wasn’t easy getting to her. For the first time, I was challenged. I sighed.
“How am I supposed to say goodbye to her, when I don’t even want to say goodbye?” I asked myself. I pondered about that. She’s probably angry.
It was only a small party. Our manager picked us up, but we still used our own cars, since it was required in the invitation card to bring a friend. A friend meant a date, so the others need to find one. In my card, it didn’t say anything. I wonder why.
When we got there, several Korean idol groups were there.
I felt her presence. I know she was somewhere here.
There she was, in a beautiful light blue dress. She looked like a doll. I then realized that she’s not her usal self. She seldom acts like that. There is something wrong. She seems wary of the people around her. I slowly approached her and she turned around just in time when I was in front of her. Her smile was astounding, my heart beating faster and faster. She hugged me first and I squished her in my body.
“Hey, you’re messing up my dress. Silly.. What’s up?” She told me in a soft voice.
Oh god. I just want to kiss her and pin her down.
Someone cleared his throat, and I slowly pulled her away. I looked at Hae Rin, and she was shaking a little bit.
“Excuse me, may I have Hae Rin for a while? I need to talk to her.” He said.
This guy is suspicious. I didn’t let go of her hand but she told me its okay.
The party was held in their house. My date was just taken away from me, and now I’m alone. I walked towards the table and looked for something for me to eat. Once I did, I went upstairs and went to her room. I put down my plate on her small table and sat on her bed. Two luggages were already set up. A picture frame was on her bedside table. It was me and her.
And a little box was beside it. I opened it and noticed several torned up pictures. Her pictures… And mine? They were pictures of us, torn up in half. There were hate messages on her side of the picture. There were also pictures of her with a guy, I don’t know who, and she was wasted. It was probably during her wild days back in the States. I found a letter.
“You can’t forget me, Hae Rin. These were sent from mad fans, and I just had to give this to you. You know me so well. I always see you. You know my presence too well. Be careful. And I don’t like that guy.”
There were other letters.
“Stay away from our Chansung you whore. If you won’t, I will reveal these pictures from a ‘friend’”
I picked up the same photo before of the man. Oh shoot! Its him! Hae Rin’s in trouble.
I ran out of her room and went straight down the stairs. Some people were looking at me, and I didn’t care.
I only cared for her safety.
Wooyoung hyung saw and stopped me. “Hyung, I’m in a hurry. Have you seen Hae Rin?”
“That’s why I stopped you, I saw her following some dude I have never seen before.” He said.
“Hyung, she’s in danger. She has a stalker.. Aishhh! Long story. We need to find her immediately.” I told him.
He was surprised. He went and looked for Jay-hyung.
I found them on the veranda, which was quite dark. I kept silent and hidden.
“Come here babe…” The guy said just hearing him talk urges me to punch his wits.
“Don’t you dare call me by that. And why would I? I don’t even like you, nor know you!” She said.
He smirked. “Don’t play dumb, bitch. I want you now. And I will get what I want. Now.”
He grabbed Hae Rin’s arm and tried to forcefully kiss her. But she struggled. I immediately ran to them and my fist went straight to his face.
“Let go of her you bastard.”
He was silent as he touched his now swollen face.
“Huh… And so the boyfriend comes and saves the damsel in distress.” He said sarcastically.
“Do you want more beating?” I challenged him.
“No. I didn’t come here for you. I came here for her.” He said.
I really wanted to kill that guy, but Hae Rin grabbed my arm and stopped me.
“No. Chansung. He’s not worth our time.” Hae Rin told me and she’s right.
The others came. And he ran as fast as he could. I tried to follow him. I turned back and found Hae Rin in Wooyoung’s arms.
“It’s gonna be okay now. We’re here.”
She clung to her best friend. Truthfully, I felt envious of him. I’m a bad person.
